Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for dispensing individual labels from a web of labels, the individual labels mounted on a backing strip being separated on the web by weak zones, said apparatus comprising reel mounting means for carrying a reel of said web, brake means operable to prevent over-run of the web during withdrawal from the reel dispensing means at which individual labels can be peeled from the backing strip of the web, and means operable to draw the web through the apparatus.
  • the labels used in such applicators have a layer of self-adhesive medium on one face and the labels are held together to form a web by a backing strip of paper treated with a release agent such as a silicone.
  • This prior proposal incorporates a combined registration and brake device disposed upstream of a dispense or label peeling edge and also includes mountings both for a reel of unused labels and for drive rollers acting on a backing strip downstream of a dispensing edge.
  • the applicator as a whole requires, because of a number of factors, special labels with transverse ridges which are costly to produce and bulky in reel form because the ridges have the effect of spacing the turns of the reel and thus making the reel larger.
  • the problem to be overcome is to provide apparatus for printing and dispensing labels which can operate successfully with plain, inexpensive rectangular or square labels.
  • apparatus for dispensing individual labels from a web of labels, the individual labels mounted on a backing strip being separated on the web by weak zones
  • said apparatus comprising reel mounting means for carrying a reel of said web, brake means operable to prevent over-run of the web during withdrawal from the reel, dispensing edge means at which individual labels can be peeled from the backing strip of the web, and means operable to draw the web through the apparatus, characterized by a rotary, generally triangular, registration device following the brake means in the direction of the web path but upstream of the dispensing edge means, said registration device defining three areas corresponding to the three indexing steps for each revolution and the dimension of each area corresponding to the length directions of the web being equal to the length dimension of each label, said web-drawing means serving to index the registration device, and the apices of the triangular registration device engaging successive said weak zones of the web under the tensioning action of the brake means, the dispensing edge means and a take-up reel mounting operable by the web-drawing means
  • the applicator comprises a plate frame 10 which carries in a groove thereof a rectilinear, elongate, slide member 12 held on the frame for sliding motion by a bridge member 14 and carrying at its upper end a knob or handle 16.
  • the slide member 12 carries a strip cam member 18 with a notch 19. All the working parts of the applicator are carried on . one face of the frame 10. The latter can therefore serve as a part of an external casing, not otherwise shown.
  • the generally elongate frame 10 carries near its upper end (as shown) a reel mounting 20 on which a reel of label web 21 is mounted and also carries on the opposite side of the frame 10 a take-up reel mounting 22 incorporating two one-way clutches.
  • the mounting 22 serves to carry the spent backing strip of the label web reel 21 and even when carrying its full length of backing strip has a maximum diameter substantially less than the full diameter of the fresh web reel.
  • the label web 24 passes around a part-circular leaf spring 25 supported on a member 26 screwed to the frame.
  • One end portion of the leaf spring 25 abuts a prismatic capstan 28 and the other end portion of the leaf spring serves to prevent snatch from the label web reel 21 when the applicator is actuated.
  • the curvature of the leaf spring is selected to avoid any risk that labels will become detached from the backing strip as the web moves along the surface of the spring.
  • the label web is made up of a longitudinal series of rectangular labels (or labels of parallelogram shape) separated from one another by a groove which does not, however, extend right through the thickness of the paper.
  • the lengths of sides of the capstan 28 are precisely matched to the distances between the grooves of the label web.
  • a conventional backing strip of silicone-treated paper is employed.
  • the label web 24 After leaving the capstan 28, the label web 24 passes around a roller 30 adjacent the bottom end of the frame 10 and the roller is freely mounted for rotation thereon. Thereafter, the web passes over and around a dispense edge member (of conventional form) 32 which also serves as a printing platen and the spent backing strip 31 after detachment of the labels then passes around a further roller 34 freely rotatably mounted at the lower end of the frame adjacent the roller 30, around a freely-rotatable roller 36 mounted just below the re-wind reel mounting 22 and finally is taken up on the re-wind reel adjacent the upper end of the frame.
  • a dispense edge member of conventional form
  • the capstan 28 is illustrated as having three sides, but other numbers of sides can be used in which case it may be necessary to change the angles of the grooves in the labels. Instead of a capstan as illustrated other rotatable members can be used, provided they define sides corresponding to one label pitch.
  • the web is driven by actuation of the handle 16 in a downwards direction through a Torrington one-way clutch within the reel mounting 22 (not shown) and through the intermediary of a quadrant 38 acting on the re-wind reel spindle.
  • the quadrant 38 is subject to the action of a tension spring 37 ( Figures 3 and 4) extending between a post 39 on the quadrant and a post 35 on the strip cam member 18.
  • the return stroke of the quadrant 38 cannot drive the Torrington one-way clutch because of the incorporation of a second Torrington one-way clutch (not shown) acting upon the spindle (not shown) of the take-up reel 22.
  • the applicator incorporates a print head 40 which comprises a frame 42 carrying a plurality of bands 44 with print facets and also positive, read-out, facets and is mounted on the frame 10 by means of two pillars 41,43 which are so disposed that the print head 40 as a whole is inclined at an angle to the length of the slide member 12.
  • the frame of the print head carries a pivotal latch 45 and the print head 40 is subjected to the biasing action of a tension spring (not shown) connected between a pin on the frame and the latch 45.
  • the print head 40 is driven by the slide member 12 through a pin 47 and the latch 45. Because of the diverging angle between the slide member 12 and the print head 40, the pin 47 disengages the latch 45 immediately a label has been printed.
  • the latch 45 pivots to avoid the pin 47, but the latch is returned to its position, as shown, by its biasing spring (not shown).
  • the inking of the operative facets of the print head 40 under any given adjustment is effected by an ink roller 48 mounted on an arm 50 pivoted to the frame 10.
  • the arm, and hence the roller, are connected by a spring (not shown) to the pillar 43 which also serves to mount the lower end of the print head frame 42.
  • the roller 48 is so disposed under the action of the biasing spring and a stop (not shown) that the operative facets of the print head act to displace the inking roller as the head moves downwardly and in so doing provides a layer of ink on those facets.
  • the applicator includes an applying pad 54 of soft rubber or plastics attached to the slide member 12 by a bracket (not shown) spanning the print head 40 and the slide member 12 and the pad is hollow so that when used to apply a label to an article the printed characters will not be smeared or smudged.
  • the soft rubber of the pad 54 enables it to conform to the local contour of an article being labelled.
  • the frame 10 also carries a foot 56 which defines a sufficient area to ensure that the applicator will be steady when resting on the surface about to receive a label.
  • the foot 56 is provided with an aperture (not shown) through which the label just printed can be applied to the article and the aperture of the foot thus provides a sight-frame so that the precise location and orientation of a label can be predicted before a label is actually applied.
  • the return stroke of the slide member is energized by a spring (not shown) acting between the post 35 and the post 51 on the bridge member 14.
  • the operation of the applicator takes place in the manner of a simple impression stamp, such as a date stamp, the only additional action being the pressure required to displace the slide member 12 longitudinally with respect to the frame 10.
  • the foot 56 at the lower end of the frame is placed in a desired location on an article if the precise location is critical and again, if desired, the precise orientation of the label when applied can be predetermined. It is not, however, essential to make use of the sighting properties of the foot if high speed of operation is essential. In the latter event the foot 56 merely serves to steady the applicator.
  • One particular advantage of the applicator in accordance with the invention is that a label is fed forward from the reel, printed, dispensed and positively applied to an article during one half of the stroke of the applicator only, the second half of the stroke merely serving to return the various operative parts to the rest configuration ( Figure 1) preparatory to the feeding, printing and application of the next label.
  • the print head 40 is operated by engagement of the pin 47 carried by the slide member 12 on the latch 45 of the print head 40 and the stroke of the print head ceases when the operative print facets contact a label on the platen 32 about to be dispensed, but still adhered to the backing strip.
  • the return stroke of the print head is effected by the tension spring acting between the posts 41 and the pivot of the latch 45.
  • the inking roller 48 in the rest configuration lies in the path of the operative print facets and is pushed out of the way and at the same time inks these facets just before the printing action occurs.
  • the facets are re-inked as the print head carries out its return stroke since the ink-roller is spring biased to the position shown in Figure 1.
  • the quadrant 38 acting on the re-wind reel mounting is energized by the tension spring acting between the posts 35 to turn and is restrained only by the web which is securely held by the capstan 28 and as the slide member 12 continues to move downwards the capstan which is initially prevented from turning by the strip cam member 18 is finally released to rotate through one third of a turn as it engages in the notch 19 in one side of the strip cam member 18.
  • the capstan thereby causes the web 24 to move forward through the pitch of one label and under the action of the quadrant spring the re-wind reel is turned sufficiently to take up the slack in the backing strip 31 corresponding to the label pitch.
  • the label is projecting partially from the dispense edge and platen member 32 and the remainder of the forward stroke is taken up by applying the pressure pad 54 which moves with the main slide and this presses the label firmly on the article at the end of the stroke of the slide member 12.
  • each label pitch represents a lesser arcuate movement so that the spring 37 is extended further and gives the required increased tension for an appropriate increase in diameter of the re-wind reel.
  • the fresh label web reel and the take-up reel are mounted for rotation on parallel axes.
  • a label web with labels of rhomboidal or parallelogram shape it becomes possible to mount the reels side-by-side on the same or substantially the same axis. This will enable the cross-section of the applicator to be more compact, and thus give even easier access to articles lying close to obstructions.
  • the dispense edge member must be appropriately angled.
  • the label registration device 28 as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and designated here as 110 includes a pivotally-mounted arcuate web guide 112 arranged to make small pivotal movements about a pivot point 114; this guide serves to guide a label web 116 to a registration member 118 of trigonal form with concave sides, having a width at least as large as the label web and having three apices 119.
  • the guide also acts to provide a braking force on the web.
  • the registration member 118 is mounted for rotation and is integral with two cam members 120 each having three arcuate portions 122 and three flats 124, the flats extending at right angles to the median line passing through the apex of the trigonal member.
  • One member 120 is mounted at each end of the registration member 118 and may be integral therewith.
  • the guide member 112 carries a tongue member 126 resiliently biased by a spring force indicated by the arrow f and the tongue member 126 carries two projections 128,130 which, as will be apparent from Figure 5, fit over the one of the apices 119 of the trigonal member 118 in order to ensure that the label web 116 is properly seated at one of the V-shaped notches 117 thereof as the device is indexed.
  • Figure 6 further illustrates the tongue member 126 and as will be apparent the pivotal action of the member 112 permits rotation of the trigonal member and associated cams, but is limited by the spring force f.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a condition when the web 116 is not in registration with the registration member 118.
  • the apices of the member cannot fit into one of the notches 117 of the web until such time as one of the apices 119 slides along the web into a notch 117 and thus into the recess 132 formed between the projections 128,130 of the tongue member.
  • the tongue member also includes a transverse cam follower member 134 which co-operates with the cam members 120.
  • the letter T indicates the tension which is applied to the web downstream of the registration device 110 in the direction towards the printing platen of the associated applicator.
  • the labels downstream thereof will remain in their predetermined position dictated by engagement of two apices of the registration member in a corresponding two notches 117 of the web 116 so that there is no possibility of printing being carried out at the wrong location on the labels.
  • the projection 130 acts as the member 118 is rotated to push a label towards the related surface of the member. This action also serves to force two apices 119 of the member 118 firmly into two adjacent notches 117 of the web 116.
  • the motion of the tongue member is controlled by interaction of the cam surfaces 120,122 and the transverse cam follower member 134 at the tip of the tongue member.
  • the arcuate portions 122 of the cam members 120 pivot the guide member 112 to allow fresh registration of the web, after a given label has been dispensed. Re-registration occurs when two notches 117 engage two apices 119 and the cycle is thus repeated.
  • Each indexing step will rotate the member 118 through 120°. For a four-sided member the index rotation will be 90°.
  • Friction between the web 116 and the guide member 112 provides braking action of the web and thus ensures adequate but not excessive tension in the web both upstream and downstream of the registration member 118.
  • the member 112 therefore also acts as brake means.
  • the hereinbefore described registration device has the important advantage that it can be incorporated upstream of the dispense edge of a label or ticket applicator or dispenser and the force required to feed a web through the apparatus is reduced because the friction force generated at the dispense edge does not need to be overcome.
  • accurate registration can be achieved, and it becomes possible to incorporate a re-wind reel for spent backing strip downstream of the dispense edge.
